OVATION TO POPE
Vast Multitude Hails Him at
Silver Jubilee.
A BABEL OF MANY TONGUES
Catholic of All Nations Crovrd St.
Peter's to Greet Hrnd of the Clinrch
Inilioslwr Ceremony Encli With
Presentation, of Gifts.
ROME Feb. M. "It seems Impossible
that It 'is 23 years since I have been
here." was Pope Leo'o exclamation as be
looked from a window of tils apartments
this morning Into tho sunlit piazza of
St. Fttcr's.
This was tho pontiffs only reference to
his long term of self-imposed Imprison
ment in the Vatican, during which he has
never gone beyond the palace grounds and
St. Peter's, which Is considered to be part
of the Vatican.
"What a glorious morning for the Jubi
lee of my pontificate." the pope added
as he proceeded with evident pleasure to
peruse the almost Innumerable telegrams,
letters and addresses of congratulation
which havo reached tho Vatican from all
parts of the world.
The Hall of Beatification, above the
portico of St. Peter's, where the pontiff
held his Jubilee reception, presented a
brilliant scene. It was beautifully hung
with antique brocades and Illuminated by
thousands of electric lights and wax can
dles. The boxes lining the long, narrow
hall were filled to their capacity with
members of the Roman aristocracy, dip
lomats, women with black veils, men In
evening dress and monks and Sisters In
varying garb. Here and there groups of
papal guards in bright uniforms lent color
to the whole. Notably among tho diplo
mats was Count jUmodovar. head of the
special mission sent to represent tho King
of Spain at the Jubilee.
Among the Americans present were:
Bishop Maurice Burke, of St. Joseph, and
Edward Dunne, of Dallas. Tex.: Fathers
S. F. McConnell and Hugh O'Gara Mc
Sbane of Chicago, and Thomas O'Gara.
of Wilmington. I1L: Mrs. and Mfce Cheat
and Cyrus Johnson.
All HaiKbe rope.
There was a long and tedious wait be
fore the ceremony commenced, and the
audience was growing restless when sud
denly a great roar of "Long live Leo,"
and "Long live the pope-king" announced
the arrival of the pontiff. His holiness
was borne in the sedla gestatoria on the
shoulders of eight men habited In red
brocade. Tho pope himself wore gorge
ous robes, and had the triple crown on
his head. He bestowed his benediction
right and left as he passed through the
cheering crowds. whose enthusiasm was
so great and whose desire to touoh the
hem of the pope's gown was so Intense
that the presence of the guards seemed
really necessary for his protection.
In a procession, surrounded by such a
brilliant escort of prelates, aristocracy
and guards. Pope Leo always appears at
his best. His feebleness and bent form are
hidden, and the public sees only the ven
erable patriarch, with cameo-like features
and a kindly smile.
The pope was accompanied by Cardinals
MocennI, Parraud, Ferrari. Satolll. Rcs
plghl, Bozechl and Macchl, and escorted
by the noble guards In their red state uni
forms. Which they had not worn since the
fall of the temporal power. The -celebrated
feather fans on both sides of, the sedla
gestatoria excited great Interest among
the Americans, as It is said they were a
gift from Joseph Drexel, -who has taken
the old ones home and. given .them to the
museum of the University of Pennsyl
vania. On the right of the pontifical
throne was assembled the Pecci family, to
which the pope belongs, and on tho left
stood Count Almodovar.
Presentation of Gifts.
"When the pontiff ascended the throne
he seemed to be in a kind of glorified at
mosphere, attained by a peculiar arrange
ment of red draperies before the windows.
Cardinal Respighi, vicar of Rome, read
an affectionate Latin address, expressing
loyalty and devotion, and offered the gold
tiara, the Jubilee present of the Catholic
world, which cost between 3,000 and iiO,
000 in money. .
Cardinal Ferrari, archbishop of Milan, in
behalf of a pilgrimage from Lombardy,
presented an address of felicitation to the
pope, and gold, silver and bronze com
memorative medals, on the observe side
of which was the head of Leo XIII and on
the reverse the figure of the Redeemer,
surrounded by the apostles. In the act of
conferring on St. Peter the supreme pon
tifical power. The pope thanked the Lom
bard pilgrims and gave them bis benedic
tion. Cardinal Boschl read a third address and
presented to his holiness the symbolic
keys, one of gold and the other of silver,
accompanied by an offering of 40,000 in
gold coins. The Roman committee for the
Jubilee fetes presented a rich parchment
volume with the signatures of all who
had contributed to the offering, with an
other $10,000 to be devoted to the restora
tion of the basilica of St. John Lateran,
which is under the care of Cardinal Sa
tolll. Other committees followed with ad
dresses and offerings.
The pope expressed his gratification and
admiration at the artistic designs and
workmanship of the various offerings, and
then charged ilonslgnore BlsleU, his mas
ter of the chamber, to read a Latin speech
addressed "To-my venerable brothers and
beloved children."
Address to the Church.
In his address his holiness expressed sat
isfaction at the manifestation of which
he is the object on the part of the whole
Catholic world. For the second time in a
century, continued the pope, Christ has
wished to glorify his vicar on earth by
allowing hlra to reach the years of St.
Peter. The address ended by the pope
saying that he was happy to celebrate his
Jubilee amid the homage and veneration of
the Catholic universe.
After bestowing the apostolic blessing
the pope returned to his apartments amid
the enthusiastic plaudits of the multitude.
He completed the functions of the Jubilee
without fatigue. On returning, to his
apartments he exclaimed:
"This is really the happiest day of my
' life!"
In St. Peter's this afternoon Cardinal
Rampolla celebrated a solemn mass and
Te Deum at An altar erected next to the
rapal altar. He was surrounded by 24
bishops. A special feature of the cere
mony was a procession through the im
mense basilica, in which took part 300
Catholic associations, carrying hundreds
of lighted torches, with magnificent ef
fect. The congregation numbered 30.000,
tnd included the Grand Duke of Hesse,
the Grande Duke of Saxe-Welmar and
Countess of Tranl and Prince Hohenlohe
Waldenburg.
Prior to his public reception today the
pope received in audience Hr. and Mrs.
Daniel O'Day and Mrs. James. Butler, of
New Tork, who were presented to his
holiness by Rev. Dr. Thomas Kennedy,
rector of the American College.
The pope- retired at 10 o'clock tonight,
saying:
"I am really .satisfied with the day's
work."
LET TITLED FRAUDS GO FIIEE.
British. Government Almost Defeated
on Stock-JoIiblnK Swindle.
NEW TORK, Feb. 10. The government
narrowly escaped defeat In the Commons
last night, says the Tribune's London rep
resentative, ilr. Lambert moved an
Amendment to the address, drawing at
tention to the non-prosecution of the di
rectors of the London & Globe Finance
Corporation. He suggested that the pros
ecution had been withheld because titled
persons were connected with the affairs
of the corporation, and he read out a list
of titled names In support of his argu
ment. This suggestion was repudiated
with much vehemence by the Attorney
General and Solicitor-General, but their
contention that nothing could be done in
the matter deeply offended members on
both wldes. of the House. It was evident
that the set of opinion was very strongly
against the line which the law officers of
the crown had taken. At a critical Junc
ture, when defeat of the government
seemed certain. Mr. Balfour Intervened,
and by a promise of Immediate legisla
tion to cover future cases of a similar
character he saved the situation and the
government emerged from the division
with a majority of 51.
CONTROL OF THE RED SEA.
Britain Anxians About Russian
Jleddllnjr in Arabia.
NEW YORK. Feb. 10. Russian reports
that the Brltlfh Government is threaten
ing to seize several Red Sea ports are not
confirmed from any official source here,
says a dl.-pntch from London to the Tri
bune. The King's speech revealed the
existence of important negotiations with
the Turkish government respecting fron
tiers in that quarter, and there is cviJence
that Ministers have been seriously dis
turbed by Turkish Intrigues, and neglect
to fulfill obligations for the control of por
tions of the coast.
It is not clear whether Russian aggres
sion or the meddlesome activity of Ger
many is dreaded, but it Is certain that of
ficials here have been more deeply inter
ested in the Red Sea question than the
revival of the Balkan agitation. Aden
and its approaches are watched with Jeal
ous and anxious "eye!", especially when
Russian torpedo-boats have been making
experimental runs through the Darda
nelles. A Russian coaling station on the
way to India would be dangerously placed.

Prince Philip or .Saxc-Cohnrjr-Golha
Accused of Ulnckmnlllnc.
VIENNA. Feb. 20. Sensational charges
against Prince Philip of Saxc-Coburg-Gotha.
who Is an Austrian Field Marshal
and husband of the Princess Louise of
Belgium, were made today In the Rclchs
rath during the debate on the army bill,
by Hcrr Daszynski. the Polish leader. The
latter denounced the Prince as a crim
inal. Referring to tho Imprisonment of
cx-LIeutennnt of Hussars Mattasisch,
who eloped with tho Princess Louise of
Coburg several years ago, and who was
sentenced to four years' Imprisonment
last December for forgery, he asserted
that while in prison Mattasisch drew up
a formal accusation charging Prince
Philip with forcing the Princess Louise,
who was confined, in an asylum for the
insane, near Dresden, some time after
her elopement, to encourage the advances
of the late Baron Hlrsch, and with com
pelling her to ask the Baron for money.
RISING I.V DARKEST RUSSIA.
Landowners Appeal for Help and Say
Police Can't Suppress It.
ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 20. A deputa
tion of landowners from the government
of Simbirsk, commonly known as "Dark
est Russia," arrived here today to warn
the government that the peasants, who
are among the most unenlightened In the
empire, havo organized a rising which
promises far to surpass that of Poltava or
Kharkov. The peasants propose to con
fiscate the land and distribute it among
themselves.
The landlords appealed to Financial
Minister "Wltte to avert the disturbance
by adopting financial measures, but Min
ister "Wltte referred them to the Depart
ment of Police. The landlords therefore
departed, declaring that the police were
Incapablo of coping with the emergency.
COAL -OIL IN" IRELAND.
Opportunity for.Rockefeller to Oper
ate In Green Isle.
DUBLTN. Feb. 20. The discovery of oil
near Mount Joy Square, this city, has cre
ated great interest and has raised hopes
that the old bogland throughout Ireland
may prove similarly productive. A sam
ple of the Dublin oil, which has been ex
amined by experts, was pronounced to be
of good, clear quality. It was discovered
in the basement of an ordinary house,
built on reclaimed bogland, and it was
said that a copious flow has continued
since the find was made five weeks ago.
Experts attach much Importance to the
matter.

Austrian Criticism of Postal Lairs.
VIENNA, Feb. 2a The Polish leader
Dacsynskt has complained in the Relchs
rath of tne action of the United States
postoffice authorities in not Issuing money
orders In Austrian currency. He said that
this was a serious matter. Many thou
sand Polish laborers in the United States,
who were unable to understand the post
office regulations, were compelled to apply
to bankers for drafts at great expense.
Herr Dacsynskl asked the Minister of
Finance to endeavor to persuade the
American authorities to change the pres
ent system.

KAISER IS ORTHODOX
HE SETS AT REST DOCI1TS WHICH
AGITATED GERMANY.
Tells Where He Disagrees IVIth As
ayrlbloirlsts and Gives Opinion on
Interpretation of the DIble.
BERLIN. Feb. 30. Emperor William's
faith in God and Christ and the authority
of the Old Testament, as declared in his
letter to Admiral Hollman, Councillor of
the German Oriental Society, is accepted
by tho leading authorities of the state and
church as satisfactory evidence of his
orthbdoxy, -which for months had been
tho cause of deep concern to theologians
and pastors.
The doubts began a year ago, when the
Kmperor first listened to Professor
Delltxsch's lecture on the Babylonian
origin of the Bible, and Increased later,
when the Emperor personally assisted the
Assyrlologist In showing stereoptlcon
pictures to CO members of the court. The
pictures were designed to- prove the
Babylonish origin of the Hebrew ideas.
The Emperor subscribed to the funds to
end Professor Delltzsch again to Assyria
find discussed -with him when he returned
his most recent discoveries, all to the dis
may of orthodox churchmen and some ot
the most influential church administra
tors, particularly the accomplished Dr.
Dryaiider, who besought the Emperor to
make' somo definite statement of creed
In order to restore the confidence of the
clergy and laity. The Emperor's letter
to Admiral Hallman is the result of Dr.
Dryander"s endeavors. Other portions of
the letter to tha Admiral, not contained
in the conclusions given to the press yes
terday, are as foUows:
"During the evening entertainment with
us Professor Delltzsch had the oppor
tunity to fully confer and debate with
Her Majesty, the Empress, and Dr. Dry
andcr, while I listened and remained pas
sive. Unfortunately he abandoned the
standpoints of the strict historian and
Assyrlologist, going Into religious and
theological conclusions which were quite
nebulous or bold. When he came to speak
of the New Testament. It became clear at
once that he developed such quite diverg
ent views regarding the person of our
Savior that I had to express diametrically
the opposite view. He does not recognize
the divinity of Christ as a deduction there
from and asserts that the Old Testament
contains no revelation about biw as the
Merslah.
"Here the Assyrlologist and the histori
cal investigator ceases and the theologian
begins, with all his light and shadow
sides. In this province I can only urgent
ly advise him to proceed very cautiously
step by step, and at any rate ventilate
his thesis only In the theological books
and In the circle of his colleagues. Spare
us. the laymen, and above all the Oriental
Society, from hearing of them. We carry
on excavations and publish the results in
behalf of science and history, but not to
confirm or attack religious hypotheses
with Professor Delltzsch the theologian,
who baa run away with the historian."
The Emperor then goes on to express
regret at thefact that Professor Delltzsch
did not adhere to his original purpose of
translating and Interpreting Inscriptions
excavated by the society as illustrating
the relations between Babylonian customs
morals and historical events and tradi
tions, etc. and the Israelites, "which
would have betn in the highest degree In
teresting for laymen," and adds:
"He approached the question of revela
tion In a very polemical tone, more or
less denying it or reducing It to purely
human matters. That was a grave error,
for thereby he touched on the Innermost,
holiest possession of many of his hearers,
which shook and even shattered the foun
dations of their faith. It is a deed 'that
only the greatest genius should venture to
attempt and for which the mere study of
Assyriology did not, Justify him."
The Emperor then gives his personal
views regarding revelation, saying:
1 distinguish between two different
WEDDING

w. a. SMITH & CO.
Washington Building, Cor. Fourth and Washington Streets
kinds ot revelation one progressive and,
as It were, historical; the other purely
rellgicus, as preparing the way for the
future Messiah. Regarding the former. It
must Be said for me, it does not admit of
a doubt, not even the slightest, that God
reveals himself continually In the race of
men created by him. He breathed Into
man the breath of life and follows with
fathcr'y love and Interest the development
of the human race. In order to lead It
forward and develop It. he reveals himself
in this or that great age, whether priest
or king, whether among the heathen, the
Jews or the Christians. Hammurabi was.
one, so was Moses, Abraham. Homer.
Charlemagne. Luther, Shakespeare,
Goethe, Kant and Emperor William the
Great. These he sought out and endowed
with his grace to accomplish' splendid.
Impel Ishable results for their people. In
their Intellectual and physical provinces,
according to his will. How often my
grandfather pointed out that he was only
en Instrument In the Lord's hands..
"Tie second form of revelation, the
more rellgidus, Li that which leads to the
manifestation of our Lord. It was intro
duced with Abraham, slow but forward
looking, for humanity was lost without It.
Now begins the most astonishing activity
of God's revelation. Abraham's race and
the peoples developing from It regard
faith in one God as their holiest posses
sion and Its followers hold fast to It with
iron-like consistency. Spilt up during
their Egyptian captivity, the divided ele
ments were again welded, together by
Moses, ever trying to hold fast to their
monotnclsm. It was the direct Interven
tion of God that caused the rejuvenation
of this people, thus proved through cen
turies, till the Messiah, heralded by
prophets and psalmists. Anally appeared,
the greatest revelation of God In the
world, for he appealed In the Son himself.
Christ Is God. God In buman form.. He
redeemed us nnd Inspires, entices us to
follow him. We feel his fire burning In us.
His sympathy strengthens us, his discon
tent destroys us, but also his Intercession
saves us. Consclojis of victory, building
solely on his word, we go through labor,
ridicule, sorrow, misery and death, for
we have In him God's revealed Word, and
he never lies.
"That Is-my view of these matters. It
Is to me self-evident that the Old Testa
ment contains many sections which are of
a purely human and historical nature and
are not God's revealed Word. These are
merely historical descriptions of incidents
of all kinds which happen In the political,
religious, moral and Intellectual life of
this people. The legislative act of Slnal.
for example, can be only regarded as sym
bolically Inspired by God. When Moses
had to reburnlsh well-known paragraphs
of the law. perhaps derived from the code
of Hammurabi. In order to Incorporate
and bind them Into the loose, weak fabric
of his people, here the historian can per
haps construe from the sense or wording
a connection with the laws of Hammurabi,
the friend ot Abraham. That Is perhaps
logically correct. But that will never
disguise the fact that God incited Moses
thereto, and In so far revealed himself to
the people of Israel."

GOOD THING FOR CUBA.
Report lo Her Senate Shows Good
Points of Reciprocity.
HAVANA. Feb. 10. The committee on
foreign relations this afternoon submitted
to the Senate Its report recommending the
ratification of the reciprocity treaty with
the United States without amendment.
The treaty as" a whole unquestionably
favors the Interests of Cuba. The report
adds that, while It would be n great ad
vantage If sugar and tobacco received
greater reductions In the United States
market, the economic conditions prevail
ing In the United States preclude better
terms for these products. Cuba, being an
agricultural country. Is In a particularly
good position to sustain profitable com
mercial relations with all nations, but,
continues the report, political situations
determine commercial policies, and the
protective systems adopted by most civ
ilized nations are modified by reciprocity
treaties.
Cuban products are limited chiefly to
two, and the markets for these are not
assured and not opened up In the measure
that Cuba needs. This condition can bo
overcome only by .giving advantages to
America, which 13 her best customer. The
United States, being a gigantic consumer
of Cuba's products and being convenient
for the supply of her requirements, offers
a flattering future (or her commercial
relations. The pending treaty will retain
an open market In Cuba for United States
manufactures and protect Cuba from
ruinous reprisals.
The report analyzes In detail the articles
of the treaty and gives the reasons why
It will be mutually advantageous. The
committee docs not believe tHe treaty will
give the United States Immediate control
ot the Cuban market, because of non
adaptation of Cuban merchants to Ameri
can wants. The committee regards the
reduction of SO per cent on sugar as vital,
as It will enable Cuban sugar cane to
survive in spite of the tremendous com
petition of European beet sugar.
